get_peb_for_wl() removes the PEB from the free list.
If the WL subsystem detects that no wear leveling is needed
it cancels the operation and drops the gained PEB.
In this case we have to put the PEB back into the free list.

The current ubi.mtd parsing logic will warn & continue on when attaching
the specified mtd device fails (for any reason). It doesn't however skip
things when the specified mtd device can't be opened.
This scenario can be hit in a couple of different ways such as:
- build NAND controller driver as a module
- build UBI into the kernel
- include ubi.mtd on the kernel command line
- boot the system
- MTD devices don't exist, so UBI init fails
This is problematic because failing init means the entire UBI layer is
unavailable until you reboot and modify the kernel command line. If
we just warn and continue on, /dev/ubi_ctrl is available for userland
to add UBI volumes on the fly once it loads the NAND driver.

Weinberger from Linutronix. Fastmap is designed to address UBI's slow scanning
issues. Namely, it introduces a new on-flash data-structure called "fastmap",
which stores the information about logical<->physical eraseblocks mappings.
So now to get this information just read the fastmap, instead of doing full
scan. More information here can be found in Richard's announcement in LKML
(Subject: UBI: Fastmap request for inclusion (v19)):
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1364922/focus=1369109
One thing I want to explicitly say is that fastmap did not have large
enough linux-next exposure. It is partially my fault - I did not respond
quickly enough. I _really_ apologize for this. But it had good testing and
disabled by default, so I do not expect that we'll break anything.
Fastmap is declared as experimental so far, and it is off by default. We
did declare that the on-flash format may be changed. The reason for this is
that no one used it in real production so far, so there is a high risk that
something is missing. Besides, we do not have user-space tools supporting
fastmap so far.
Nevertheless, I suggest we merge this feature. Many people want UBI's scanning
bottleneck to be fixed and merging fastmap now should accelerate its production
use. The plan is to make it bullet-prove, somewhat clean-up, and make it the
default for UBI. I do not know how many kernel releases will it take.
Basically, I what I want to do for fastmap is something like Linus did for
btrfs few years ago.

UBI was mistakingly using 'kfree()' instead of 'kmem_cache_free()' when
freeing "attach eraseblock" structures in vtbl.c. Thankfully, this happened
only when we were doing auto-format, so many systems were unaffected. However,
there are still many users affected.
It is strange, but the system did not crash and nothing bad happened when
the SLUB memory allocator was used. However, in case of SLOB we observed an
crash right away.
This problem was introduced in 2.6.39 by commit
"6c1e875 UBI: add slab cache for ubi_scan_leb objects"

Because variable were renamed, this won't cleanly apply to older kernels.

Without this patch, these PEB are not scrubbed until we put data in them.
Bitflip can accumulate latter and we can loose the EC header (but VID header
should be intact and allow to recover data).

Currently UBI fails in autoresize when it is in R/O mode (e.g., because the
underlying MTD device is R/O). This patch fixes the issue - we just skip
autoresize and print a warning.

This patch provides a possibility to set the "maximum expected number of
bad blocks per 1024 blocks" (max_beb_per1024) for each mtd device using
the UBI_IOCATT ioctl.

This patch provides the possibility to adjust the "maximum expected number of
bad blocks per 1024 blocks" (max_beb_per1024) for each mtd device.
The majority of NAND devices have their max_beb_per1024 equal to 20, but
sometimes it's more.
Now, we can adjust that via a kernel parameter:
ubi.mtd=<name|num|path>[,<vid_hdr_offs>[,max_beb_per1024]]

max_beb_per1024 shouldn't be negative, and a 0 value will be treated as
the default value. For the upper bound, 768/1024 should be enough.

On NAND flash devices, UBI reserves some physical erase blocks (PEB) for
bad block handling. Today, the number of reserved PEB can only be set as a
percentage of the total number of PEB in each MTD partition. For example, for a
NAND flash with 128KiB PEB, 2 MTD partition of 20MiB (mtd0) and 100MiB (mtd1)
and 2% reserved PEB:
- the UBI device on mtd0 will have 2 PEB reserved
- the UBI device on mtd1 will have 16 PEB reserved
The problem with this behaviour is that NAND flash manufacturers give a
minimum number of valid block (NVB) during the endurance life of the
device, e.g.:
Parameter Symbol Min Max Unit Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Valid block number NVB 1004 1024 Blocks 1
From this number we can deduce the maximum number of bad PEB that a device will
contain during its endurance life: a 128MiB NAND flash (1024 PEB) will not have
less than 20 bad blocks during the flash endurance life.
But the manufacturer doesn't tell where those bad block will appear. He doesn't
say either if they will be equally disposed on the whole device (and I'm pretty
sure they won't). So, according to the datasheets, we should reserve the
maximum number of bad PEB for each UBI device (worst case scenario: 20 bad
blocks appears on the smallest MTD partition).
So this patch make UBI use the whole MTD device size to calculate the maximum
bad expected eraseblocks.
The Kconfig option is in per1024 blocks, thus it can have a default value of 20
which is *very* common for NAND devices.

CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_RESERVE and MIN_RESEVED_PEBS are no longer used,
since the amount of reserved eraseblocks for bad PEB handling is now
derived from 'ubi->bad_peb_limit' (ubi's maximum expected bad
eraseblocks).
